'If you want to explore the latest science behind The Secret, look no further. Science and wisdom collide and make friends in this real-world adventrue that is ultimately a guidebook for living.-Drew Heriot, director of The Secret movie

The book you hold in your hands is revolutionary, a groundbreaking exploration of the science of intention. Drawing on the findings of leading scientists from around the world, The Intention Experiment demonstates that thought is a thing that affects other things. It is also the first book to invite you, the reader, to take an active part in its original research.

Using cutting-edge research conducted at Princeton, MIT, Stanford, and many other prestigious universities and laboratories, The Intention Experiment reveals that the universe is connected by a vast quantum energy field. Thought generates its own palpable energy, which you can use to improve your life and, when harnessed together with an interconnected group, to change the world.

In The Intention Experiment, internationally bestselling author Lynne McTaggart takes you on a gripping, mind-blowing journey to the furthest reaches of consciousness. As she narrates the exciting developments in the science of intention, she also profiles the colorful scientists and renowned pioneers who study the effects of focused group intention on scientifically quantifiable targets-animal, plant, and human.

McTaggart offers a practical program to get in touch with your own thoughts, to increase the activity and strength of your intentions, and to begin achieving real change in your life. You are then invited to participate in an unprecedented experiment: Using The Intention Experiment website to coordinate your involvement and track results, you and other participants around the world will focus your power of intention on specific targets, giving you the opportunity to become a part of scienttific history. A new Afterword by the author recounts the successes of the several Intention Experiments so far.

The Intention Experiment forces you to rethink what is is to be human. It proves that we're connected to everyone and everything-and that discovery demands that we pay better attention to our thoughts, intentions, and actions. Here's how you can.

About the author

My science geek side was just as thrilled at reading this book as my spiritual side! ( )

Some of the science detail was heavy, but I'm thankful for that biopsychology degree! Working to providing "proof" to those who need it, since the obvious feelings and inherent understanding of thousands isn't enough. Great bits for my novel! ( )

Not very convincing ( )
